[quote="AladdinsGenie"]Or Gorgu :lol: I'm glad they scraped that character and just went with using Genie because why add another genie to the mix knowing he was always going to be compared to the original? I guess maybe they had issues with the voicing of Genie, but I couldn't imagine Aladdin getting yet another genie friend and we're just supposed to accept this character as one of the gang. They've been through shared trauma - no newbies allowed :lol:[/quote]

I came across a thread somewhere talking about how the show bibles for a lot of Nickelodeon shows was leaked/hacked last summer, was reminded Aladdin had one (from the first time I made this thread a few years back) and then looked it up again to find someone mentioned it a few weeks ago and confirmed our suspicions about the new character's intent. I wish I could own a copy of this cause I'm wondering what else is in there now. <br /> <br />But yeah, if they ever remake the series, it would be an awesome time to explore middle eastern mythology and introduce some lesser known creatures. I do like the idea, though, that because he's a ring genie he can give unlimited wishes but he's not as powerful as a lamp genie who is only limited to three per person. <br /> <br />What if it wasn't though? Like, what if there's a completely different movie they had planned before they came up with ROJ as we know it? <br /> <br />Aw, we haven't used that verb in a long time <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" />. And yeah, when I took Middle Eastern history in college, I perked up when I heard the word but then pouted when I realized what they are.
